Re: [platform-debug-dev] Launch Variables

I would do this:

1) Check if there is a context variable with the given identifier, and if so, use it
2) If there is no context variable, assume it is a simple variable

As well, we should provide error (collision) detection for variable contributions. The UI should not allow you to define variables with duplicate names.

When it comes time to expand the value of a variable, how do we tell what kind 
of variable it is?

${ANT_HOME} is a "simple variable" (key/value pair) that points to the 
location of my Ant install. ${resource_loc} is a "context variable" (dynamic, 
UI-based value) that points to the location of the selected resource. But 
what's to say that ${resource_loc} isn't actually a simple variable? Or what 
if I define a simple variable with the same key as a context variable?

It would seem that we need two different variable formats? Thoughts? 
Suggestions?
